I cannot believe we're reading another article where the Labor caucus are acting like they're hostages. Shut the fuck up and do some politics. Break something. I have zero sympathy for any of you.

If work requirements suddenly ended for everyone tomorrow and everyone got UBI, sure, you might take a week or two off, and a few folks might become free riders. But I’d put it at over 95% of people who would go back to working at some place or other

Just a reminder that today the Liberal Party is no more or less relevant to what the ALP govt can do than it was the days after the election.
The govt loves focus on the Liberal Party to give it cover for doing bad things or at best doing nothing.

Evidence Labor takes its new broad yet draconian hate speech laws very seriously.
Israel’s president Isaac Herzog can sign bombs and appear in a UN genocide conclusion, yet still not qualify as a hate preacher and can traipse around Australia.
Relax though. We can still social cohesion etc etc

Hey @albomp.bsky.social
How is Israel President Isaac Herzog signing artillery shells destined to be fired upon Gazan civilians not a form of deadly serious hate speech?
You must rescind his invitation now. This is cynical hypocrisy of the worst kind.

In my opinion, the Religious Right is trying to heal its coalition, which has fractured over antisemitism (& perhaps to an extent over ICE tactics), by focusing on a common goal: making same-sex marriage illegal in as many states as possible. ⬇️
The Religious Right has launched a new effort to pressure SCOTUS to reverse Obergefell. The coalition includes Evangelicals (eg, Al Mohler, Tony Perkins, Dusty Deevers), Catholics (eg Leonard Leo’s pal Robert George), Jews (Josh Hammer), FRC, members of FRC’s “State Policy Council” network, etc. 1/

I think it's more that Albanese is just spineless in the face of the Zionist lobby.
His appointment of Israel advocate Jillian Segal as 'envoy',
and the rushed, stupid and counterproductive 'hate speech' law were clear signs of that.

they missed the bit where Aly stated that foreign nationals were targets of the shooting. Our public figures refuse to talk about the Israelis because all but orthodox Jewish Israelis are conscripted into the Israeli military, who are committing genocide.
